My Mother’s Shepherd’s Pie

Geoffrey Zakarian ate this dish often as a kid, but he didn’t know it as shepherd’s pie, just as a tasty use of leftovers. “My mom, Viola, served it whenever there was extra meat,” he says. “It’s the best comfort food.” The recipe is easy to adjust based on what you have: You can substitute ground beef or turkey for the lamb or swap the potato for cauliflower or turnip purée.
